More than 4,000 people enjoyed two days of spending time together on Monument Circle on Oct. 22 and 23 as SPARK kicked off out first ever Circle SPARK Fest.

This partnership between Downtown Indy and Big Car closed the southwest quadrant of the Circle to car traffic and brought a host of free activities and cultural entertainment to visitors. This included artist-made seating for socializing, games like chess and ping pong, 25-plus local artisan vendors, all-local food and drink vendors, live music, pumpkin decorating, interactive artmaking opportunities, writing and decorating historic Circle postcards that we mail for free, a mobile art gallery and 360-degree selfie station, and a mobile art museum — the Wagon of Wonders.
